Leap Motion VR

Real & virtual hands

Comenius

High-speed, markerless, touchless, and intuitive – no buttons, joysticks, gloves, or straps. Just like in real life, your hand is the controller.

The next-generation hardware and software efforts that Leap Motion is currently building from the ground up for this exciting and emerging space. If virtual reality is to be anything like
actual reality, we believe that fast, accurate, and robust hand tracking will be absolutely essential. We believe in the concept of other specialized controllers as well, but our hands themselves
are the fundamental and universal human input device. One of the most exciting things to us about virtual reality is that our technology can be more than just your hands – it can be your
eyes as well. This builds off the release of a new API which opens up raw infrared imagery straight from the sensors. When mounted directly onto a head-worn display, these images become
stereoscopic windows into the world around you. What it sees, you see. This expands the tracking space to be in any direction you’re facing. You can reach forward, turn around, look up and
down, and the tracking follows you wherever you go. Because Leap´s field of view exceeds that of existing VR displays, you’ll find it can start to track your hands before you even see them.
